Hello again everyone. So it turns out that my friend's Sierra 2500 gasser doesn't have the payload I need. I've read some people solving that with suspension mods like Roadmaster Active Suspension, Timbren, and/or air bags. I don't know anything about those.
The fifth wheel we want to buy is 11k empty and 14k GVWR. We want a crew cab, short bed, 4x4, and a nice, quiet(ish), comfortable interior for the 4 of us (like the Denali package from GM). I'm also now thinking I would prefer diesel since this be used primarily for towing in the west and just occasionally for picking up large things nearby home.
So, I'd love people's perspective on:
- 2500 D-max with suspension mods vs a 3500?
- What should I know about the different model years?
- What are the comparable Ram, Chevy, Ford trims and years that I should be considering?
